Ginger -- how terrible.

I always thought it was a dreadful story, plus it showed how the least misstep can change your life. I also remember it every time I see someone holding a baby in her lap in the car.

Leif has discovered the release button on the seatbelt. Every once and a while he will unfasten the seatbelt. It's really annoying. At least he doesn't do it very often.

A friend's four year-old has figured that out, too. I'm just hoping Owen never gets around to it. He seems to actually like the seat belts (thanks to Little Einsteins and their "fasten your seatbelts" schtick). ::crosses fingers::

Ginger, that is absolutely horrifying.

that's horrible, ginger.

and ION, also baby related.... need money , tell everyone you just had sextuplites

now, I'm all for trashing Britney (those outfits!), but the story says that the skull fracture happened with the nanny, Brit and K-Fed were in Spain or somerthing.

Years ago, my aunt's boss had a minor accident in which just tapped the bumper of the car in front of him. He got out of the car to go up and talk to driver, and found that the driver had been holding a baby between her and the steering wheel and the baby was dead. According to my aunt, he never got over it.

Oh my word (and so not his fault, but I can totally understand his reaction, there's not enough oh-my-word in the world for this).

I didn't let my kids fasten their own seatbelts until they were a certain age, because I was terrified of this. In fact, I'm still buckling in Chris, because he uses a booster, and the [thing the seatbelt plugs into] kind of falls below the booster rim, so he can't get to it.

The unfastening was never a big deal with them. They may have each tried it once, and I then made it crystal clear that it was dangerous-bad-scary-for-me.

They're little Seatbelt police, now. We can't pull the car five feet ahead in the driveway, without a stern reminder. They're also anti-smoking police, anti-alcohol police, and Chris has recently joined the anti-junkfood police force (for us; they're not crazy).

It's like living with the Young Republicans.

This makes me laugh because that's exactly how I was as a kid. I think my mother often feared that she'd created a monster.

Oh totally, I don't blame for directly hurting the baby, but, strongly opinionated and judgemental bitch that I am - they (well, she) has money - why didn't they have that baby in Dallas with them?

grr, I hate being part time for school. I don't know anything about anything.

ION, I cleaned and dusted our bedroom. I'm now exhausted. But I'd like to do laundry and dusting of the stairs and hallway.

My house is COVERED in like 2 inches of dust.

Anyone remove salt from the table?

In eighth grade, while I was in home ec, I removed all the salt shakers from the table/house. I insisted that the amount of salt I put in the food was enough, and people would just have to live with that.

Boy, were my parents glad when I gave up the policehood. And, boy do they give me a hard time when they watch me put salt on my popcorn at the movies.
